Analysis Of Ultraviolet Energy Distribution In Uv Disinfection Systems Using Monte Carlo Ray -Trace Method, Khoi Trung Nguyen Jan 2007

Analysis Of Ultraviolet Energy Distribution In Uv Disinfection Systems Using Monte Carlo Ray -Trace Method, Khoi Trung Nguyen

Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Determination of fluence rate in ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems is a crucial part in evaluating disinfection efficiency of the systems. A robust Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) method has been developed to determine fluence rates in three-dimensional space of the systems. This is a statistical sampling method in which millions of random light energy bundles are simulated from the axis of each UV lamp and traced through the system until their energies reduce to a minimum threshold level. Inherent phenomena including refraction through quartz tubes, specular reflection at quartz tube surfaces, and absorption by quartz and water, along with specific …
